Sounds like a good solution, at least to my ears :-)

Actually indenting is always significant, if you are working in a team.
Noone wants to read unindented code, but I understand the difficulties you are
talking about. At work I am programming without a braille device at the moment
and that is not the easiest way, but I can handle it... thank you emacspeak.

I can imagine another work-around for problems like that. What about writing
code without indentation and running a script afterwards, which indents it
propperly? Same works for the different direction. Take some indented code and
unindent it, so you can handle it. Any opinions?
